Our experienced fabricators get stuck in — using high-quality materials like mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, or Chromoly. Every weld, bend, and bracket is built to perform and comply with MSNZ, NZDRA, IHRA & ORANZ standards.

When your build is complete, we’ll walk you through everything, help you prep for tech inspection, and make sure your car leaves safer, stronger, and fully race-ready.

SERVICES OFFERED
We custom-build MSNZ, NZDRA, IHRA & ORANZ compliant roll cages using mild steel, stainless, or Chromoly. Each cage is measured, bent, and welded in-house to ensure maximum driver protection and 100% scrutineering success. Whether you need a full cage, half cage, or bolt-in solution, we’ll make sure it fits both your car and your racing class.
Certified Roll Cage Fabrication
From bare chassis to competition-ready, we handle full rebuilds for circuit, rally, drift, and off-road vehicles. That includes everything from frame modifications and component integration to one-off mounts, reinforcement work, and safety compliance. We’ll bring your vision to life — fast, safe, and track-tested.
Full Car Rebuilds & Custom Fabrication
Performance meets precision. We build and fit custom exhaust systems using high-grade stainless steel, mild steel, or alloy, tailored to your car’s layout and racing demands. Whether you're chasing better flow, a tougher sound, or full heat management, we’ve got you covered.
Custom Exhaust Systems
We install and fabricate everything your car needs to perform better under pressure. From harness bars, bash bars, and underbody protection to seat mounting, cooling support, and final checks before race day — we’ll help you meet the rulebook and the finish line.
Performance Upgrades & Race Prep
Got something out of the box? We do one-off builds and niche jobs too — including custom alloy tanks, tool brackets, recovery gear, UTV modifications, and more. No templates, no shortcuts — just real fabrication for real results.
One-Off Projects & Specialty Fabrication
We stock and install high-performance components including extractors, big bore pipes, mufflers, catalytic converters, and purifiers. If we can’t source what you need, we’ll build it from scratch. Our fittings suit most makes and models.

What Our Clients Say
Real Words.
Real Builds.
I asked Tim to install extractors and complete a new exhaust system for my 92 Landcruiser. In the middle of that job I also asked if he would make some aesthetic adjustments to an internal support/roll bar. Result was incredible, great workmanship, car sounds and looks fantastic. Happy to recommend the team at Shores, great communication, super fast and fantastic quality of work. I’ve already talked about the next two jobs with Tim!!
Tim did an absolute beast of a job on my subbie making it sound amazing. He did a muffler delete and added an exhaust tip I had on there that before hand looked like trash. He managed to get it done in a few hours and at last minute 🫱🏾🫲🏽 highly recommend Tim and the team shores nz autoworx
The Team at Shores NZ, where a pleasure to deal with. Took my vision and upgraded it, super happy with the quality of the build and was in the agreed quote. Flew through homologation,
I wouldn't go anywhere else for my cage requirements.

How long does a roll cage build take?Most roll cage builds take 5 to 10 working days, depending on the complexity of the design, vehicle type, and how busy the workshop is at the time. We recommend booking early, especially leading up to race season, to secure your slot and ensure your cage is completed in time for tech inspection and race prep.

What materials do you use?For roll cages we use: Mild Steel – A strong, cost-effective option that meets Motorsport NZ and ORANZ compliance standards. Chromoly (4130) – A high-strength, lightweight alloy ideal for competitive builds requiring top-tier performance and durability. All cages are custom-fabricated in-house using the material that best suits your vehicle, race class, and certification requirements.
